Is Cam the next VY...

[MattB]

Interesting article with quotes from some unnamed GM's and HC's.

"This guy has no natural throwing motion," said one AFC assistant. "To be honest, Vince Young looked like a more natural passer. You look at this guy's passes, and they're heavy. There is nothing natural about the way he delivers a pass."

That was apparent at last week's pro day, and it was apparent at the annual scouting combine when Newton had trouble making completions against air. He looked more comfortable at his Auburn workout, but you'd expect that. What you wouldn't expect is more fallout afterward about someone once touted as the best prospect in years.

Then again, I heard that in 2006, too.

"He's OK if he can see the field and everything is in front of him," said one coach. "But if he has to make a quick read, then turn and throw the ball he can't. The thing that really stood out at his workout is how he stared down everyone. If he can see it -- like the comeback -- he can make the throw. But if he has to turn to throw to his left, the ball can go anywhere. And that's what playing in the NFL is all about."

But that's not all. Questions move from Newton's mechanics to Newton's character, and here is where the conversation begins to boil. In fact, he fares so poorly in this department that a head coach at the annual NFL scouting combine told me he absolutely, positively, would not draft the guy. And he's not alone.

"There are so many red flags," said one GM, "it's like he's telling you, 'Don't take me.' "

[Dpantherman]

meh

[Lumps]

sounds like a great value prospect for the bottom half of the first round.

[countryboi]

right now you would wish cam was as good as VY he is not even a freaking rookie yet

[teeray]

He could have just read the Huddle and saved talking to all those people. Same sh*t we all say on here.

Too bad he won't be there :)

[jtnc]

All of the QBs suck and none of them have shown the talent for #1 draft PP7 or Dareus it's that damn simple

[Lumps]

Too bad he won't be there :)

True. But that is 92% due to the poor draft class and 8% hype.

but whatever at this point if it's no PP at #1no sense in caring, anyone is a gamble.

Deja Vu....let me guess theres gonna be another thread that he is the next Big Ben and then another saying hes the next Steve McNair...Vick and so on. I wonder if Rivera is thinking "this is the next VY but Im still gonna have lots of meetings and dinners with him".

[ncmonzta]

I cant wait until this poo is over and done then we can talk about who we actually have

[ncmonzta]

Thats the most back and forth pointless article I've read so far. One Gm wouldnt draft him another would turn the team over to him. Unless that GM is Hurney and the Coach is Rivera color me dontgiveafuc

[PantherBrew]

It doesn't fuging matter what anyone besides JR, Morrison, Hurney, and Rivera think.

fug everyones opinion.
